I don't think that's even remotely the most offensive thing anyone's said about Palin. It is hard to top "her only qualification is that she hasn't had an abortion" and the "that's not really her kid" memes, for example.

Isn't it funny how leftists especially comedic leftists spew the most hate-filled venom towards conservatives or frankly towards anyone who doesn't agree with them while those who receive such spew don't retaliate in such a guttural fashion?

This is the character and nature of a leftist, comedic or otherwise. It's the baseness by which they define themselves. There isn't a single thing uplifting or redeeming about them or their failed ideology. Not one.

Look, the "let's not get all defensive" post by UWS post notwithstanding, Cho missed the great point that Samuel Goldwyn made late in his life: "If you want to preach, get a soapbox".

Cho forgot that her bread and butter was comedy, not bringing people of different persuasions around to her conviction. The best people in Hollywood find a way to pursue their beliefs while not alienating those who disagree with them. Cho is one of those people who makes a point of hating those people she disagrees with.

There's not a big market for Magaret Cho. However, you'll notice that there's a big market for Ellen DeGeneres, who is just as liberal, and just as gay. Ellen is partisan, but has found a way not to alienate those who disagree with her. Ellen keeps her own show by making sure that she keeps her focus on comedy and entertainment, and deemphasizes her politics.

Ellen understands what Samuel Goldwyn was getting at. She knows that she's in the tushie business: get the tushies in the seats. Cho never got this. If Cho left Hollywood forever, she wouldn't be missed for long.

I have to say one positive thingfor those mooooooooovie stars, comedians, and celebrites. They have created new and expanding industries in drug reahbilitation and sex addiction. They created jobs for people who would actually hve to work for a living otherwise.

Not to say that women aren't great at a lot of things.They are capable of some of the greatest acheivments in human experiance. They can be airline pilots or engineers or doctors or even moose hunters.

I want to say that I respect the opinions of all the women who post here. Knox, Beth, Ruth Anne, Freeman, Victoria, even reader_iam when she writes in complete sentences. Except for Alphaliberal. She tends to get a little hysterical.

So don't take it as a shot. Nothing personal. It's just a fact. Women aren’t funny.

With everything else that's been said, it's not even a contender. Besides, at least Cho's being honest about what motivates her - it isn't as though those lefties who've been beating off those vicious attacks against her for the last few weeks aren't acting out from the exact same desire.

Not sure I understand the eskimo reference, but c'est la vie. Maybe Titus can show up to enlighten us.

She has a new show I was forced to watch at a party the other night. She was making a sex tape with her midget assistant where she sits in a bucket of ice cream. Then she watches it with her parents. It was just about the worst ten minutes of TV that I ever saw.

The trouble with outrageous topical humor like Cho's is that, like much modern art, it relies on shock value for the laugh. But there;s nothing shocking anymore. So no laugh.

John Cleese has described real laughs arising from the creation of tension relieved by a sudden violation of expectations. But to be successful, it has to be a violation within certain expectations of normality. However, Cho is no longer saying things in violation of expectations; the expectation is that she will say something exactly like this. No tension, no laugh.

Hell, it's not even outrageous. It's like watching a gorilla fling feces for the 32nd time. By then the fun is out of it.

To be hyper mega offensive, you have to say something offensive in the subdued tone of someone trying to score a point in rational debate. The comment about Palin being chosen because she never had an abortion still takes the cake...."Bust a curl"--is that lesbo slang for an orgasm?....For women breaking the homosexual taboo is like breaking the incest taboo with a cousin. For men breaking the homosexual taboo is like breaking the incest taboo with a sister.

When men say a woman has a good sense of humor, they generally mean that she laughs at their jokes. There really are women that inspire jokes and good humor. Sarah Palin has that quality. If you were around her, you would try to think of something amusing to say and feel very gratified if she laughed.

"For men breaking the homosexual taboo is like breaking the incest taboo with a sister."

Um, no. Maybe it's just you. I've broken not a few men's homosexual taboo and it was not at all like fucking my sister, though I wouldn't really know because that would be gross and I don't have a sister. And I like men so I wouldn't be fucking her anyway. Now if I had a brother...
